Gazza related story. A few years ago my cousin and her husband answered a frantic knock on their back door late one night. They live in rural Warwickshire, so this was a bit unusual. Opening the door, they found a dishevelled looking Gazza, muttering strange things to himself. They got him inside, made him a cup of tea and rang the local police. He'd apparently been sectioned and had escaped from his carers.

Sad way to be for anyone, not just a star footballer fallen on hard times.

I think it was nasty and irresponsible for the radio station to interview him when he was clearly wasted. As JJ says, Gazza was comical and the butt of many jokes when he was playing, but now it's just sad.
